I feel the logging and its accompaning new access to new areas 

 has more impact on the game distribution or game kill than 

 hunting pressure per se. 



when roads are blocked to vehicles so a person must walk 2-5 

 miles to hunt- Commercial people should not be allowed to set up 

 tents & camps for out of staters & basically take over good 

 hunting areas. example-Centenial valley on Idaho border- 



the No. side of Centennial was blocked for vehicles & 

 outfitters moved right in & had their own private area. The 

 average person cannot afford a house, tack, trailer & yr round 

 maintenanace costs. 



More road closures during archery season. More inforcement of 

 roads that are all ready closed. 



There were too many forrest service roads closed by the Game 

 Dept . That places too many hunters in open roady areas and makes 

 it hard to get game out of closed areas, especially for the elder 

 hunters. As plentiful as the game is I think closing so many 

 roads is not necessary. 



Have more concerns about snowmobiles than any other vehicles. I 

 don ' t mind when they ride them to get where they want to hunt . 

 But more times than not they chase the animals . 



I think something should be done about the use of ORV ' s and 4 by 

 4's in bow hunting. At the beginning of the season, alot of 

 people hunt from the road with them. How sporting can you get?!! 



close more roads and keep out 4 wheelers 



close more roads and stop 4 wheelers 



I DON'T AGREE WITH THE ROAD CLOSURE THERE A CRIME AND A SORE SPOT 

 IN OUR WILDERNESS. IF LIVED IN & HUNTED AROUND TROY MT. ALL MY 33 

 YEARS. IT UPSETS ME TERRIBLY WHEN I CAN'T GET TO AND SEE THE 

 MOUNTAINS AND ITS INHABITANTS IN THEIR ENVIORMENT AND MAJESTIC 

 SPLENDOR. SOME CLOSURES YES BUT NOT EVERY SIDE & SPUR ROAD. 



I would say leave the Archery hunting the way it is as it is an 

 enjoyable hunt to go out and not have the hunting pressure like 

 in the regular rifle season as it has become in the last few 

 years. I hunt not just for to shoot at all game I have a chance 

 at, but for the fun of being able to get near them. I and my 

 family have hunted and fished for thirty years in this 130 dist. 

 area as being residents here have seen the change in the 

 inviorment for game and fish to a point. Now where we may go to 

 bow and arrow hunting in full earnest and leave the rifle hunting 

 to the masses as this a Green Dot system we have here in our 

 district 130 definatly does not work for the advantage of game or
